Our guest this week is Anne Michels, Head of Product Marketing, Microsoft Teams Core, Education and Free.
Anne welcomed her second child two weeks ago! She also just launched a program to better support parents at Microsoft as they prepare for parental leave.
So Maternity Leave is this week's hot topic!
As it may sound like a niche topic, maternity leave is a moment of transition in our lives. It impacts women both on personal and professional plans. This is often a time of self-reflexions and resolutions as we open a new chapter in our personal history. Professionally, maternity leave can have a significant impact on our career. It's an important topic to discuss!
In this post, Anne shares a lot about career and parenting:
π Challenges of pursuing a career in tech & starting a family
π Expecting Program at Microsoft
π 3 important factors impacting your career as a working mom
π Maternity leave: Baby Blues, how to truly enjoy maternity leave with doing something productive
And way more!

I discovered recently the concept of Mindful Parenting. I really enjoy Apparent content. The newsletter pops up in the inbox on Sundays with articles bases on mindfulness, psychology and neuroscience. I find it very interesting! For someone (like me) who does not know much about this subjects, it's a great place to start!
